I was going to make a portable version of this, now I don't have to!
One note, though: the root directory has a 'Thumbs.db' file in it... did you open in Thumbnails mode and then zipped without removing the file?

*cough*Show hidden files*cough* :P
Don't worry, I've done it before on PHP projects. Linux and Unix users everywhere asking what the DLL is used for :D

Ah well we all are useless more than once in our lives. Just gotta try to learn from the simple mistakes LMAO.

On a side note:
I have updated the links for BlenderPortable and WinkPortable with the new server links. The old ones will be active for another week. Unfortunately they were getting hammered by more interest then I thought and my ISP wasn't amused.

this is GREAT!!! A series of co-workers were having trouble utilizing some new computer functions at work, I used this portable app to record a video tutorial detailing the new processes and got everyone on board.
Thanks Again!

Has anyone successfully disabled the splash screen? I followed the same steps I've used on other portable apps (edit source ini, copy to app location) but the splash keeps splashing. I even tried putting a copy of the ini in every directory of the app - no dice. Thanks.

PS - FRAPS is great for games FPS measuring and taking vids of play, but CamStudio is perfect for home and work related "how to videos" - very nice!

These are the actual fields used by the launcher, you can learn that after skimming through the NSIS code or simply having a look at the readme.txt (.ini file configuration section)
I know that it's not the same structure as in other PA.com apps, but that's the way tanisthalon did it and we've to respect it.

Hi tanisthalon,
first off I want to say thanks because I really enjoy using your portable version of Wink and CamStudio. 8)
I'd only like to point out something that I just found, with CamStudio Portable some registry keys are left behind, they are under

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Local AppWizard-Generated Applications

there's especially one which I never like, a "Recent File List" key.
I wonder why you don't handle them, like in your other apps, from the NSIS launcher.

Seems you are correct. It is the SWFProducerPortable and MoviePlayer2.1Portable causing the problems. I will look at this tomorrow and re-release it. Missed them somehow, sorry. Probably wont include those extensions when I get around to getting it PAFified, probably just use the main CamStudio program.

FYI, according to my tests CamStudioPortable.exe is creating also a keyHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Local AppWizard-Generated Applications\vscap\Settings
this one is not so important because there's nothing in it.

Well, don't want to sound too demanding but there's also a little issue with Wink Portable, one reg key is not deleted on exitHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WinkProject
this is strange because the NSIS launcher seems to be ok.

'allesklar' could you email me your full name for tester acknowledgment in the launcher and help file, due to you doing a bit of overtime on these. Its on my webpage, in my profile here on the PA site.

Tested it several times and found it had a blank screen. It was just black. I opened several videos and it would not convert after trying several methods. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Try the 'Help' button when running the program to see it has anything relating to your query. Shouldn't be too much longer though for a new release of CamStudio and when it does I will update the portable version.
